Boosting Power Levels to Slash Costs in Remote Radio System
Boosting Power Levels to Slash Costs in Remote Radio System

With the rise of high-bandwidth applications such as streaming video and a growing expectation that their devices will work everywhere, mobile subscribers are demanding better coverage and higher data rates from their service providers. However, densifying networks and using higher-powered RRUs pose significant cost and deployment challenges, especially when it comes to powering remote radios. In this blog, CommScope’s John Hanley and Tessco’s David Heitmann will look at these challenges and how DC power-boosting technologies can address them.
